Armenia Real Estate Market

Armenia Real Estate Market Outlook - 2026

The Armenia real estate market size was valued at $880.4 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $1,249.3 million in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.3%. Real estate is defined as a property, which is made up of land and any physical structures on it such as various types of buildings. 

Increased focus on diversification of Armenian economy, and rise in the number of property transactions drives the Armenia real estate market growth. There is growth in the number of transactions pertaining to the purchase and sale of residential homes, land, public & industrial facilities, and garages. In addition, there were around 47,000 transactions for state registration of the right to immovable property in Armenia. One of the major reasons for market growth has been the law on returning the income tax to residents who re-pay mortgage loan. Many Armenians are repatriating and buying real estate. The rise in demand for property has also increased property prices. 

In addition, the affordable interest rates on mortgage loans fuels the growth of the market. For example, in Armenia, interest rates on mortgage loans are affordable and equal to some of the neighboring countries in the region. It is noted that the mortgage loans in Armenian Drams are around 12% per annum for 10 years. However, the mortgage loans in dollars are offered even at lower rates. However, high dependence on the Russian economy, and high poverty and unemployment rate are expected to hamper the Armenia real estate market growth. 

Furthermore, the rise in focus of the government to foster the growth of the Armenia real estate market is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for market players. For example, in November 2019, the Armenian parliament approved amendments to the law, which determines the procedure for the cadastral valuation of real estate close to market value. Therefore, instead of the current land and property tax, there will be an introduction of a unified real estate tax, which will include land and building, defining the land as its object. This ensures the transition from cadastral value to real market value. Hence, cadastral prices will be formed, which will be close to market prices, thereby increasing the cadastral value of the real estate in Armenia. The amendments are expected to come into force by 2021. Moreover, the government-held consultation on the property tax system reforms in the country to develop progressive taxation mechanisms for real estate, which ensures a fair and equitable distribution of tax burden. The rise in focus on the real estate market by the government is expected to drive the growth of market in the future.

The Armenia real estate market is segmented into property type and business type. By property type, the market is classified into residential, commercial, industrial, and land. The industrial segment is anticipated to dominate the market throughout the study period. There is a rise in demand for industrial spaces in Armenia. This is mainly due to the opening of new factories or manufacturing plants in Armenia. For example, recently in April 2019, a Chinese elevator manufacturer has signed Memorandum with Armenia to open a plant in Kotayk Province, with an estimated annual production of 2,000-3,000 elevators. Further, a new Diamond cutting factory opened in the city of Abovyan in December 2019. In addition, a new cheese factory in Noragavit was opened in March 2019. Therefore, growth in the number of factories or workshops is expected to increase the demand for industrial spaces in the country.

Depending on business type, the market is segregated into sales and rental. The rental segment is anticipated to dominate the Armenia real estate market share throughout the study period. Growth in the commercial and industrial segment is expected to increase the lease transactions in Armenia. The commercial segment is one of the major contributors to the lease segment. There are many U.S. brands present in Armenia. These include Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, and Gold’s Gym. Further, the new government, which was elected into power in May 2018, announced that they will remove all administrative and customs barriers for entrants. This will help new retailers to enter market, thereby boosting the growth of the lease real estate market.
